During the course, the students work with a concrete example of the conservation of species and their habitats, while at the same time being presented with an example of a resource that we would like to utilize as a sustainable food source. Students learn that bioinformatics is an important tool for conserving species in local environments. Through core academic goals such as biodiversity, DNA sequencing and bioinformatics, students will see an example of how these techniques can help advise the industry to start a sustainable production of oysters in a Danish Fjord. The course covers a total of five modules, but individual modules can also be used separately.
